fishers.
Extracts on many subjects from the
works of Ruskin, which, read over and
over, will forever furnish pleasant contem-
plation and often deep consideration.
The following paragraph we quote, be-
lieving 1t eminently true and good to think
about
"IIuman nature Is q noble aud beautiful
thing; not foul nor base thing. All the
sin of men l esteem as their disease, not
their nature; as folly which may be pre-
vented, not necessity which must be ac.
cepted. IL Thinking 1t high, al
ways find 1t q higher thing than thought;
while those who think 1t low, find 1t, aud
will find 1t always, lower than they
thought"
Rose Porter's selections evlnce admirable
discrimination aud judgment. The world
is largely her debtor, but all the compensa.
tion she seeks Is that the world may accept
her rich Offering.
